Hazen Stevens

Hazen Stevens longs to see a multi-cultural, cross-denominational, multi-generational bride encounter the fullness of God.

In 2006, Hazen and his wife, Hannah, joined the staff at GateCity Church (formerly International House of Prayer Atlanta) in Lawrenceville, GA, where 24/7 live worship and prayer continue to rise day and night. In 2017, Hazen collaborated with key leaders across Atlanta to launch the OneRace Movement, where he now serves on the Board of Directors.

Today, Hazen serves as the Lead Pastor of GateCity Buckhead—a spiritual family of diverse cultures and generations, rooted in formation and prayer. GateCity Church operates bases in four nations, with a global focus on prayer, missions, and bringing the Gospel to the unreached.

Hazen is married to his beautiful wife, Hannah, and together they are blessed with four wonderful children. He is the author of Seven Seeds for Flourishing and Know Own Change.

Hannah Stevens

Hannah Stevens has served in ministry since 2005. After earning a degree in Psychology and Pre-Medicine from Furman University, she stepped into ministry, beginning at the Billy Graham Training Center in Asheville, NC, followed by her role as a youth intern at Christ Church of Atlanta. In 2008, she joined the staff at the International House of Prayer (IHOP), now GateCity Church, where she continues to serve.

Over the years at GateCity Church, Hannah has worn many hats—worship leader, intercessor, instructor at the school of ministry, and a key team member within Human Resources. Her multifaceted roles reflect her heart for both people and the presence of God.

In 2018, Hannah deepened her leadership journey by joining the Transforming Community program under Ruth Haley Barton, which introduced her to the rich world of Spiritual Formation and direction. Building on that foundation, she pursued a Master’s in Spiritual Formation and Direction at Richmont Graduate University, completing her degree in May 2023.

Today, Hannah serves as co-pastor of GateCity Buckhead and offers spiritual direction to the broader community. Her personal mission is to be a “space-maker”—someone who cultivates environments where the knowledge and presence of Christ can transform mindsets, atmospheres, and lives toward greater wholeness, freedom, and joy.

Whether she is pastoring, mothering, writing, leading worship, providing spiritual direction, or being a friend, Hannah’s desire is to welcome the Bridegroom into every space, allowing His heart to be revealed through her life. Her guiding Scripture is Psalm 84:11:
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly."
